Shifting Gears in Chroma - Atlantis and Smoothie

Shifting Gears from O/C Knitiot Designs.  It is a wonderful shawl using two very contrasting yarns.  It is a Crescent Shape Shawl worked with 2 different long striping yarns to create a stunning use of color. Featuring a beautiful scalloped loop cast on, 2x2 Fair Isle knitting, short rows, and an I-Cord bind off.  I am currently in my third repeat of the Fair Isle knitting, which for me is very SLOW going. 

The yarn I am using is Chroma from Knitpicks.  I love this yarn.  I've made several things in it and have always found it to be interesting and fun.  It has very long repeats, which is perfect for this pattern.

The colors (Atlantis and Smoothier) are as follows:

 

The description of Atlantis is: Step back in time and into the lost city of Atlantis with this cool, mysterious colorway! The deep water blues of Atlantis blend with soft grey and teal shades that fade into a dark seafoam green and finally, into a barely there icy spring green.

 

The description for Smoothie is:  Inspired by the vivid colors of its namesake, Smoothie introduces splashes of orange, tangerine, and papaya with a handful of farm fresh strawberries for good measure. These cheerful colors combine together to make a rainbow that is just as yummy as the best fruit smoothie.

 

 

The cool thing is that with this pattern, these colors really work.  I can hardly wait to show you . . . but I haven't taken a pic yet.  Soon and very soon, I will.
